McDavid got off his Stanley Cup schneid in Game 5, scoring a consolation goal in the third period when the Oilers were already down and out. There is no margin for error in Game 6, and if anyone can help drag them off the mat, it's their venerated captain.  He's part of the reason I back the visitors in my Oilers vs. Panthers prediction.

Maybe that goal in Game 5 represents the water that broke the dam. He's also one of the only Oilers, along with Leon Draisaitl, who can conjure a moment of magic from nothing. He will likely have to call upon his ability to pull off such a moment with his team's back against the wall. Despite that, my best Oilers vs. Panthers player props feature a teammate of theirs who should get the rubber on net a couple of times.

McDavid has one Stanley Cup Final goal on 19 shots. That's a shooting percentage of just over 5, well below his 13.4% postseason average. It's even below his 9% mark for the current playoffs.

At some point, he must find his range. And if it's not in Game 6, then when?
